Gang hot take but 4hrs a day is enough
just skip your school and tutoring hw and unfinished classwork and just get ahead in content fr

i mean thats what i do except i dont do tutoring

 

[jane1820]

Btw yes ik that some ppl like their hw to solidify their learning but honestly it depends on u as a person, like if youre extremely slow then sure but it also depends on how you study

i remember for my bio at2 (mod 6) i procrastinated the whole term and barely did anything, even in class i was scrolling instagram and i locked in 3 days before the exam, i spammed past papers and i was learning while i was doing pp, like it asked me to “evaluate a genetic technology” or whatever and i knew none so i looked at the answers and was like “oh ok so dna fingerprinting” (for example) and just learnt it like that, in terms of notes download ready notes online, like dont spend your time making notes thats a huge waste of time, if you learn BY writing notes then instead of writing them as notes write them as answers to past questions, hsc is made to be an easy system, its only hard if you make it hard or like want a 98+ in a course idk

 

[jane1820]

Btw heavy on the “hsc system”! I didnt say the subject i meant the system!

 

[jane1820]

Another way of studying can be like:
sunday-thursday hw and then friday-sunday ahead in content, lowkey i did this in yr 11 and it didnt help i realised that for me what works better is just locking in hard 3-4 days before an exam but once again i dont do any memorisation heavy subject all my subjects can be argued to be logical and mathematical even bio (if you understand whats going on and can word it good youre good for)

 

[jane1820]

Holy fucking spam, ok see yall in 3 weeks time!

online notes, past papers & well written samples are my cramming holy trinity

Nah i gaslight myself into thinking my answers are the “well written samples”

 

[jane1820]

I have a feeling that study is gonna reply to my messages and tell me off and then give eng as an example that you cant do my method for it but idk

im lowkey a performance fraud like i dont understand things i study half the time
i just read sample responses and subconsciously commit them to memory just to end up regurgitating it in the exam with small tweaks

 

[dillydally]

i have to cram it all the day before too tho cos i can memorise an essay quick but it will also leave my memory within 30 hours max

 

[jane1820]

What are your marks/ranks like if you dont mind

 

[dillydally]

mine?

 

[dillydally]

What are your marks/ranks like if you dont mind

idk my ranks since they haven’t published them yet + i haven’t gotten all my subjects back

im only certain that im first in eng since i topped the first task (i was the only one with an A)
and that im very close to last in sor since my teacher told me #_#.
i did ok in maths ig 75% so im prob mid

There isn’t enough hours in the day. That’s the one thing I’ve learnt when studying this year

i kinda agree lol

Umm ig it kinda works but I feel like for writing subjects it’s better to practice before hand so that u can hand in stuff for feedback. Also for humanities stuff like business there’s a lot of memorisation to do so like just spamming past papers 2 days before might not be enough time but if this stuff works for u then it’s great. But also stuff like math, people spend weeks doing past papers and stuff soooo idk if like doing it all 3 days before works for everyobe
